Between his positions at JCI, Dave held the posi­tion of Vice Pres­i­dent, Edu­ca­tional Ini­tia­tives, for Art Cen­ter Col­lege of Design. Dave was respon­si­ble for devel­op­ing new strate­gic offer­ings for the col­lege. Dave was also respon­si­ble for direct­ing the Art Center’s sum­mits, a series of annual events focused on sus­tain­able mobil­ity. The sum­mits have brought together global busi­ness, design and gov­ern­men­tal lead­ers to dis­cuss the future of sus­tain­able transportation—they explore cre­ative new sys­tems and busi­ness mod­els that inspire peo­ple to think dif­fer­ently about how we all move around the planet.

Dave grew up in Min­neapo­lis, Min­nesota. He stud­ied mechan­i­cal engi­neer­ing and phi­los­o­phy at Rens­se­laer Poly­tech­nic Insti­tute in Troy, NY, and grad­u­ated from Art Cen­ter Col­lege of Design in Pasadena, CA, with a Bach­e­lor of Sci­ence in Trans­porta­tion Design.

Dave has acted as a design advi­sor to var­i­ous start-up mobil­ity and trans­porta­tion com­pa­nies and is assist­ing in the cre­ation of the NewNorth Cen­ter for Design in Busi­ness located in West Michi­gan.
